La Cenerentola (Cinderella)

Music by Gioachino Rossini
Libretto by Jacopo Ferretti
English Translation by Amanda Holden

Synopsis Summary

Cendrillon. Cenerentola. Cinderella. No matter what she’s called, everyone knows her story – an innocent girl, wronged by her dysfunctional family, winds up marrying a handsome, kind prince. Rossini’s unique retelling of this fairy tale favorite is not Disney’s version of a pumpkin stage coach and a glass slipper. Rossini’s twists are delightful in this enchanting romantic comedy. A score of brisk, playful music, beautiful sets and stunning gowns by NYC fashion designer César Galindo will make all your dreams come true!

Skylight will perform Cinderella in English.

This production runs approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes, including a 20 minute intermission.

Appropriate for ages 12 and up. Contains adult situations. (Hint: This is not Disney’s Cinderella.)
